I'm new here (obviously) ... and I have to ask: where is Wisteria Lane?
According to tonight's episode, it's in a state that doesn't have the
death penalty ... so the Housewives live in
Alaska, Hawaii, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, North
Dakota, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, or the
District of Columbia.

I'm pretty sure we can eliminate ND, IA, HI, MN, WI, WV, AK and DC,
which leaves us with MA, ME, RI, VT or MI. So, which is it?

It is in reality a suburb of Lake Wobegon, Minnesota. But don't tell anyone!

FWIW, on a past episode the license plate of Lynette's minivan said "Eagle
State".

In the past, going by weather, flora, fauna, guacamole growing, ... the
general consensus is that it's either California or Florida, although it
could be other states with similar weather. Death penalty & weather do not
match up on lists. Guacamole growing definitely does not match up with your
list here of non-death penalty states.

So, it's fictional.

Definitely not Maine, probably not MA or VT either judging from the climate.
Plus, as a Maine native, I can tell you the culture, clothing, houses,
foliage, and choice of cars are not typical of ME or VT. Suburban Boston
or Southeastern MA is a possibility, except for the foliage. I always
assumed it was in California or Texas, so don't know what to tell you about
the death penalty issue.

Actually the new characters who arrived at the end of last night's
episode are moving into the Munsters home. It's in between Gabrielle's
home and Susan's home. It does look different from the other homes, but
at the same time the neighborhood's homes are all quite different from
each other.

The Leave it to Beaver house is on Wisteria Lane also.

That's the Young's house. And it was the house used for the Leave it to
Beaver movie that bombed, not the original TV show.
